A jet plane traveling horizontally at v0x = 1.40  102 m/s drops a rocket from a considerable height (see figure). The rocket immediately fires its engines, accelerating at 27.0 m/s2 in the x-direction while falling under the influence of gravity in the y-direction. When the rocket has fallen 1.00 km, find the following. (a) its velocity in the y-direction: (b) its velocity in the x-direction: (c) the magnitude and direction (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of its velocity. Neglect air drag and aerodynamic lift.

Question

A jet plane traveling horizontally at v0x = 1.40  102 m/s drops a rocket from a considerable height (see figure). The rocket immediately fires its engines, accelerating at 27.0 m/s2 in the x-direction while falling under the influence of gravity in the y-direction. When the rocket has fallen 1.00 km, find the following.

(a) its velocity in the y-direction:

(b) its velocity in the x-direction:

(c) the magnitude and direction (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of its velocity. Neglect air drag and aerodynamic lift.:
